Collabora is presenting two talks: one on using Debian on mobile phones (BoF) by Arnaud Ferraris, and another on how the SteamOS bootloader works by Vivek Das Mohapatra, both on Saturday, November 25. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How does the SteamOS bootloader work? The SteamOS bootloader internals and design rationale were covered in a talk titled 'Adventures in bootloading: How the SteamOS bootloader works (and why it works that way)' by Vivek Das Mohapatra at MiniDebConf Cambridge. The talk addresses both the mechanics and the reasoning behind its architecture, though detailed technical specifics are not expanded upon in this announcement. _Developers digging into SteamOS or custom bootloader design track related discussions on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Debian -- News -- DebConf26 closes in Santa Fe and DebConf27 announced](https://daily.dev/posts/debian----news----debconf26-closes-in-santa-fe-and-debconf27-announced-hzd1uf8tg) · Debian · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Open Source in Prague: A week of talks, hands-on demos, and community\!](https://daily.dev/posts/open-source-in-prague-a-week-of-talks-hands-on-demos-and-community--w2mxqffp2) · Collabora Blog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux), [#steamos](https://daily.dev/tags/steamos), [#bootloader](https://daily.dev/tags/bootloader) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/minidebconf-cambridge-2023-8q8jvt24z) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"MiniDebConf Cambridge 2023","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/minidebconf-cambridge-2023-8q8jvt24z","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/minidebconf-cambridge-2023-8q8jvt24z"},"datePublished":"2026-08-11T08:56:15.745Z","dateModified":"2026-08-11T09:09:50.420Z","description":"MiniDebConf Cambridge is a regional Debian community event taking place at Arm's offices at Peterhouse Technology Park.
